I'm like the Simpsons. Season 1 was choppy, I had a good rise and plateau'd during some golden years.
However I'm now into Season 582 and my writers have been replaced with chimpanzees doing a terrible impression of Arnold Schwarzenegger on loop.

I had a bit of an orange complexion, only for a very short while, however in the other sort of way.
I just really liked carrots, and whenever I'd see carrots I'd munch on them. For a while in my childhood it would be normal to see me just eating carrots throughout a Summer.

Once my mum noticed they were very quickly cut out, then later I just understood the cool orange skin was not good and I shouldn't have that many carrots. Life is unfair sometimes.

I cannot stress this enough: it was a lot of carrots.

I used the BBC Good Foods recipe for a cottage pie, however I thinly sliced the onions so they cook slower and sweat differently with the carrots and celery.
People also told me the red wine doesn't matter, however I chose some rather fruity and full bodied wines with the sauce/gravy - I think this really made a difference and the flavours really pop. I tried weaker red wines and they just don't bring out the flavour in the same way.

Two things: satekroket in Amsterdam, from FEBO (I'm addicted to them whenever I go), and cottage pie I've been making from scratch.

Probably for the experiences. The sort of things kids do in these schools seem more lavish, I mean, as much as I enjoyed my school trip to a farm I'm not sure if that's the sort of thing they'd consider.
Although David Cameron did shag a pig, so not sure if that's true for all of those schools.

When I was in university, one of the source materials required was at an absurd price. The lecturer made a point that it makes no sense to spend that much money on something we are unlikely to use beyond the module, so she encouraged us to use Z-Library and provided links. I really miss her, she was an absolutely fantastic lecturer.

They prefer to be called little planets, tyvm.

Once I was going out with someone, and her step dad had hearing problems and slurred speech.
When I introduced myself to him, he misheard my name as 't-rex' yet when he repeated it, I thought he was saying my name.

This went on for two years, until finally in conversation he mentioned that my name is t rex, which led to the hilarious realisation and correction.
Apparently he didn't question it because he thought that's a young person thing and left it at that haha. Fair enough.

My cats need me to tell them good morning with cuddles, or they get upset. I video call with them when I'm on holiday, and they rub their faces on the phone.
Can't beat that sort of affection, they brighten my days.

I've been playing Rayman on my Miyoo Mini, it's been a great throwback!

Could be a bit of both, with examples of intersectionality provided by folks with those mindsets occasionally.

Weed and food. The former isn't a problem, the latter can be.

When I'm stressed I have to consciously be very aware of my eating. During lockdown I was spending a hundreds per month on just food.
Within two years after lockdown ending, I managed to lose 36KG. I try my best to keep a good weight, and I'm within acceptable ranges as per the BMI, however every once in a while I would have a bad day and eat an entire extra large pizza to myself for lunch.
